NEW CASTLE, DE — Sky-Trax Inc. (Sky-Trax) is pleased to announce the hiring of Tony West as Vice President of Business Development. In this role, Mr. West will be responsible for building client relationships by helping them achieve their operational goals and business strategies through the purchase and implementation of Sky-Trax solutions.

“With the addition of Tony West to the Sky-Trax management team, we have addressed a priority need at Sky-Trax,” says Larry Mahan, Sky-Trax President and COO. “Tony brings a proven record of ability and results with sales force and channel development, revenue growth, and successful technology sales in environments ranging from startup companies to Fortune 100 companies. We are very excited to have Tony’s leadership and energy working for Sky-Trax.”

“Establishing new opportunities and developing relationships includes understanding a client’s needs and their operational processes from purchasing to implementation,” says Mr. West. “Plus, the way companies buy our product is complex.

Mr. West will leverage the full 360 degree knowledge and experience of being a buyer, a seller, and an installer.

“Sky-Trax solutions are unique in that companies can acquire, implement, and achieve a return on investment in 12 months,” adds Mr. West. “In today’s economic environment that is critically important to our clients.
